  2. Functional equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_equation

    For example, the gamma function is a function that satisfies the functional equation (+) = and the initial value () = There are many functions that satisfy these conditions, but the gamma function is the unique one that is meromorphic in the whole complex plane, and logarithmically convex for x real and positive ( Bohr–Mollerup theorem ).

  3. Functional (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_(mathematics)

    At the same time, the mapping of a function to the value of the function at a point is a functional; here, is a parameter. Provided that f {\displaystyle f} is a linear function from a vector space to the underlying scalar field, the above linear maps are dual to each other, and in functional analysis both are called linear functionals .

  4. Functional equation (L-function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_equation_(L...

    The functional equation in question for the Riemann zeta function takes the simple form = where Z(s) is ζ(s) multiplied by a gamma-factor, involving the gamma function. This is now read as an 'extra' factor in the Euler product for the zeta-function, corresponding to the infinite prime.

  5. Riemann zeta function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_zeta_function

    This zeta function satisfies the functional equation = ⁡ , where Γ(s) is the gamma function. This is an equality of meromorphic functions valid on the whole complex plane . The equation relates values of the Riemann zeta function at the points s and 1 − s , in particular relating even positive integers with odd negative integers.

    These equations for solution of a first-order partial differential equation are identical to the Euler–Lagrange equations if we make the identification = ˙ ˙. We conclude that the function ψ {\displaystyle \psi } is the value of the minimizing integral A {\displaystyle A} as a function of the upper end point.

  7. Lambert W function - Wikipedia

    The product logarithm Lambert W function plotted in the complex plane from −2 − 2i to 2 + 2i The graph of y = W(x) for real x < 6 and y > −4.The upper branch (blue) with y ≥ −1 is the graph of the function W 0 (principal branch), the lower branch (magenta) with y ≤ −1 is the graph of the function W −1.

  8. Function (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_(mathematics)

    Function spaces play a fundamental role in advanced mathematical analysis, by allowing the use of their algebraic and topological properties for studying properties of functions. For example, all theorems of existence and uniqueness of solutions of ordinary or partial differential equations result of the study of function spaces.

  9. Cauchy's functional equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy's_functional_equation

    Cauchy's functional equation is the functional equation: (+) = + (). A function that solves this equation is called an additive function.Over the rational numbers, it can be shown using elementary algebra that there is a single family of solutions, namely : for any rational constant .
